Radiation Detected on Japanese Travelers and Ships upon Checking in China

The Chinese government made an official announcement this week that two Japanese travelers were admitted to a hospital upon their arrival aboard a commercial airline aircraft from Tokyo. Radiation contamination was detected upon these two travelers when they arrived in eastern China.

On requesting further specifics of the incident, the Chinese government had responded through the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The statement pointed that the Japanese travelers reached the city of Wuxi on Wednesday night post which all the action began and the radiation levels on these Japanese travelers was “beyond serious standards” which warranted immediate action.
